Fayose concluded that he remains a member of the PDP, a member of the National Executive Council (NEC) of the PDP, and a member of the Board of Trustees of the party, based on his position as a former chairman of the PDP governors' forum.
Fayose recently hinted at his resignation from the party in a live interview while commenting on the 2023 presidential and national assembly elections.
